Thank you, I've only ever heard it used in the respectful sense among Black (and sometimes Native American) people. I get language evolves sometimes but it sucks they turn positive things into negative things, and I'd argue that's very intentional.

I would still use illiterate in that case, and would argue that is the correct term at least according to Merriam Webster:

a : violating approved patterns of speaking or writing
b : showing or marked by a lack of familiarity with language and literature

Or even just at its most basic:

having little or no education

I remember going to one of his rallies when I was like 6 or 7 with my parents and remember it was a huge deal when he became president, people seemed happy about it. I'm curious to ask my parents now what it was.

Dude sounds scummy AF from that wiki page though.

Mr Kellam said: “They saw Johnson with the bag of potatoes and in women’s clothing. [He was wearing a bra over his shirt]

“It may be this that led officers to believe that he was intoxicated.”

lgbtq people received the right to hold a job (2020)

Sorry, I'm not from the US can you explain what you mean by this? LGBTQ+ people have legally had jobs in the US for longer than that....

I don't... Hahaha this is one of the things I most often speak to my counsellor about though and I'm working hard on it.

My issue is more around productivity (achievements), so what I work on is doing things for the sake of doing them, not for the final product, i.e. doing art for the process or even playing a game just to play and not for literal achievements. Learning to just enjoy things for the process or just doing 'nothing'. They suggested I could just come home and sit and watch my cats and... Just do nothing. I'm still working on that one.

We haven't gotten that far into external validation, but I think learning to have compassion/love for yourself helps with that.

Its a great initiative but from the looks of it, the creators are taking a break. I wonder if there's any other organizations (not shitty websites that rip designs) that are selling something similar towards a good cause.

And (at least for me) the most rewarding!

I used to get sleep paralysis all the time. For me it was because I was sleeping on my back which (according to some shit I read online a very long time ago) makes sleep paralysis more likely to occur. Haven't had any issues since I started forcing myself to sleep on my side only.
